OFL on pharmacological shock therapy

I spent upwards of 15 minutes with OFL this morning, largely because two of the books I was checking out had not been checked out since 1982, which was apparently before the U of I library went to computer database. So there was no scanning tag for my two volumes from the Nervous and Mental Disease Monograph Series, a title that made OFL lean in to me and whisper loudly, back of her palm to her cheek, "from the age of this book I can only think of PMS."

When she opened one of the volumes to see the title--The Pharmacological Shock Treatment of Schizophrenia-- she shrugged and said, "I guess it's more natural than drugs."

After the scan tag got straightened out, we moved on to actually discharging the books. I didn't mention this to OFL, who was detailing the seven dwarves garden troll set she is planning for her sister's birthday next year, which will be on 07-07-07, but the due stamps for these two books happen to be my very own birthday.
